Class C Campaigns for Votes: Kushida's Enthusiasm. / The Campaign Is Over: Kushida's Mixed Feelings.

"That sounds beautiful. So you actually thought about things like that?"

Ichinose Honami pressed her face against the other's chest, her voice growing softer and softer. She had certainly thought about marrying him and having children, but she hadn't yet decided on a name for the baby.

"Yes, I will never leave Honami in my entire life, that's what I truly believe."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled. If things went according to plan in the [Life Album], he would indeed marry Ichinose and have a lovely daughter.

"..."

After hearing these words, Ichinose Honami felt an even stronger surge of love in her heart, and the girl felt her heart beating faster and faster.

The next moment, she reached out and hooked her arm around her boyfriend's neck again.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Upon seeing her expression, Hashiba Hikaru's expression changed slightly.

"If that's the case, then... let's do it again!"

"But it already happened just now..."

"I don't care! Who told Guang to say those things to me? This time it's my turn!"

The girl straightened up, her eyes glazed over, her voice filled with an unstoppable ecstasy. With her beloved right in front of her, Ichinose Honami decided to no longer hold back.

"..."

After a long while, around 10 p. m., the girl beside him had fallen into a deep sleep. After covering her with a blanket, Hashiba Hikaru went to the dormitory living room alone.

He touched his waist, his expression somewhat complicated.

It can only be said that girls are often more terrifying when they go crazy. He originally thought that Ichinose Honami was a gentle person inside and out, but in certain special circumstances, her other side was truly amazing.

After pouring herself a glass of water, Hashiba Hikaru took out her phone.

Chat interface.

Hashiba Hikaru: Tomorrow I'm going to Class C with Honami to campaign for votes. There's something I need to remind you: she already knows about your relationship with me. Remember not to say anything unnecessary tomorrow.

"Drop!"

Kushida Kikyo was still awake, quickly opened the other person's chat box, but after seeing this line of text, the girl's expression changed drastically.

What's the meaning?

How did they find out about our relationship?

What is she going to do in Class C tomorrow?

Could it be...?

The short-haired girl, her mind in turmoil, leaned against the headboard of her bed. There were many things she couldn't understand, but her messages to that bastard across the room went unanswered, like stones sinking into the sea.

That night, Kushida Kikyo finally experienced the taste of insomnia.

Chapter 314 Class C Campaigns: Kushida's Enthusiastic Attitude.

The next morning, Hashiba Hikaru and Ichinose Honami finished washing up and went to the classroom together.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kushida Kikyo walked into Class C's classroom, looking extremely tired with dark circles under her eyes. She had no mind to respond to everyone's greetings, her mind preoccupied with the fact that Ichinose Honami was coming to Class C today.

Although they came in last place at the Sports Festival, it didn't affect the atmosphere of Class C. At most, everyone would feel a little sad that they would have less money next month, but life went on as usual.

After Kushida Kikyo sat down, she looked at her face in the mirror. Although she and Hashiba Hikaru hadn't done anything too outrageous, she was indeed a little nervous after seeing the message the boy had sent.

After all, the short-haired girl had already met Ichinose Honami less than a week into the semester. If it weren't for her invitation, she would never have met Hashiba Hikaru at the Yakiniku Restaurant that day, which led to a series of subsequent events.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let it come as it may, I'll just treat it as usual."

Kushida Kikyo clenched her small fists, then began to compose herself, not wanting them to see her in such a disheveled state.

When the afternoon arrived, because Hashiba Hikaru had sent a message to Hirata Yosuke in advance, the good-natured class leader asked everyone to stay after the last class.

"Hirata, what exactly do you want us to do by staying here? Is there some class plan you want to announce?"

Yamauchi Haruki asked loudly.

"Yes, if there's a program that allows me to earn points, I'd definitely participate."

Kanji Ike followed behind his best friend, chiming in with a strange smile on his lips.

"There is something very important to tell everyone, but I'm not telling it to me, but to Classmate Hashiba from Class A."

Hirata Yosuke explained to everyone.

"Classmate Hashiba?"

When this name appeared in Class C, several girls reacted in different ways.

Horikita Suzune had originally planned to pack her bag and leave, but after hearing that name, she chose to sit back down.

Sakura Airi was startled and slightly raised her head to look at the classroom door, like a nervous little rabbit. It had been a long time since she had spent time with the boy privately. Although they kept in touch by phone, she couldn't see him during class.

Kushida Kikyo took a deep breath, then patted her cheeks, preparing to welcome the two people.

Besides these three, Karuizawa Kei, who was surrounded by several girls, also showed a strange expression. After cooperating with Hashiba Hikaru, she often took the initiative to chat with Sakura Airi, but since the results were minimal, she temporarily stopped trying to build a relationship and prepared to find an opportunity to talk to the boy.

"Classmate Hashiba? What's he doing here? Is he trying to get our class to cooperate?"

Someone asked a question.

"You'll see when he gets here. Anyway, they helped us before, so please give them some face."

Hirata Yosuke smiled slightly. He actually wanted to get in touch with Hashiba Hikaru, hoping it might be helpful to his class.

About five or six minutes later, the famous couple in the whole grade came into Class C's classroom, and many people cast envious glances at them.

After all, both Hashiba Hikaru and Ichinose Honami are in a class of their own in terms of physical appearance.

Even though a semester has passed, the boy still holds the top spot on the handsome guy list, his position unshakeable, while the girl's looks are equally top-notch, making her a strong contender for the school beauty title.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for staying here. I'm Hashiba Hikaru from Class A of the First Year."

Hashiba Hikaru led Ichinose Honami by the hand to the podium, and then nodded to Hirata standing next to him.

"Please, Classmate Hashiba, tell everyone what you want to say."

Hirata Yosuke pointed to the Class C students sitting in their seats, "Everyone's really looking forward to it."

"Okay, then I'll explain it."

Hashiba Hikaru's gaze swept over the Class C members sitting at the table. If he was not mistaken, they would be back to Class D in November. Without someone to lead them, given their personalities, they would probably have no chance of turning things around.

"You've all probably heard about the upcoming Student Council elections, right? Around late October, the current Student Council President, Horikita-senpai, will step down and hand over the reins to the next generation."

"And I happen to be a member of the Student Council right now, so I have some ideas I'd like to get everyone's support."

"You're not planning to run for Student Council President, are you?"

Yamauchi Haruki curled his lip; he had never heard of a first-year student being able to succeed as Student Council President, so his words carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Of course not, I wouldn't be so presumptuous."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly and explained gently, "My goal is the position of Student Council Vice President, so I've come here to ask everyone to vote for me. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, the students in Class C immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves, because no one from their class had become a member of the Student Council yet. As a class with a lower ranking, they had never even considered this possibility.

"So that's what you're thinking, Classmate Hashiba. I think it's great! If you become the Vice President, you can take care of us first-year students, right?"

Hirata quickly expressed his agreement, because he had already heard that the third-year seniors had publicly expressed their support for Hashiba Hikaru, and he knew that she was confident in her decision.

However, the other members of Class C weren't so easily swayed. Yamauchi Haruki immediately asked, "What do you have to offer us in return for our votes?"

"Well then, what would you like, Yamauchi?"

Hashiba Hikaru's expression remained calm; this situation was entirely within his expectations.

"Although we don't know who the candidates are yet, since Classmate Hashiba is willing to cooperate, how about giving him some Private Points?"

Yamauchi smiled, like a leader in control of the situation, "How about 30,000 points per person? I wonder if Classmate Hashiba is willing to pay that?"

After he said that, many students in Class C immediately showed interest. After all, it didn't matter who they voted for, but if they could earn points, wouldn't that be a zero-cost profit?

"As for this..."

Just as Hashiba Hikaru was about to speak, a figure suddenly stood up; it was Kushida Kikyo.

She looked at Yamauchi Haruki with a serious expression and said loudly, "I don't think this is a good idea. Have you forgotten that Classmate Hashiba helped us before?"

"But that was before, wasn't it? This vote concerns the interests of our class."

Although Yamauchi Haruki didn't know why Kushida Kikyo was speaking up for Hashiba Hikaru, he was already enjoying the fun of setting the tone and his attitude was incredibly positive.

"Gratitude is something we should learn from a young age. I think we can help Classmate Hashiba. In terms of points, if he becomes the Vice President, we might be able to get his help in the future, right?"

As the most popular girl in Class C, Kushida Kikyo's speech quickly changed the minds of some students.

"I think we should charge points. What do you all think?"

Yamauchi quickly looked at the other students in the class, intending to force them to choose sides.

"This..."

Seeing the conflicted expressions on the faces of the Class C members, Hashiba Hikaru spoke up directly.

"There's really no need for everyone to worry about it; I can agree to the points requirement."

The boy smiled slightly. He looked at Yamauchi Haruki's face and knew that the other party had no idea about the subtle uses of human relationships and connections.

Spot trading with immediate settlement is the lowest level of transaction. If you settle the matter after paying the points, you'll be watching yourselves fall into the abyss later.

"Does everyone agree? If so, I can pay right now!"

Hashiba Hikaru waved his phone. His personal account currently had nearly six million Private Points, so spending this amount of money was nothing. As long as he could successfully obtain the position of Vice President, the future class competition would be much easier.

Chapter 315: Kushida's complex feelings after completing his campaign.

When Hashiba Hikaru immediately expressed her willingness to pay the Private Points, it was clear that more than half of the students in Class C were tempted. After all, their Class Evaluation Points was not high, and 30,000 was already a large sum of money.

"That's not a good idea. If you calculate it, it means that Classmate Hashiba will have to come up with over a million points at once."

Hirata naturally noticed the expressions on everyone's faces, but he still felt that this was not a good thing.

"Hey, Hirata, maybe you should stop talking now. Classmate Hashiba has already decided to pay; we didn't pressure him."

Yamauchi Haruki stood up from his chair. He had always been poorly minded and even owed a lot of debt.

"I think so too. Anyway, Classmate Hashiba said he wanted us to vote for him, so getting some money is just a normal exchange of benefits."

"Hmm, 30,000 points isn't much, is it? I remember Class A got the most points in the VIP Exam."

Some people recalled the exam on the Cruise Ship, Class A was the clear winner, taking home over ten million points in one go.

"Hirata, don't worry too much. After all, we asked your students for help. Since everyone thinks it's a good way to make a deal, we certainly can't be stingy."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly, glanced at his girlfriend standing beside him, and whispered, "What's Honami's opinion?"

"Just come and make the decision. I have plenty of Private Points; I can give you some if you don't have enough."

"That won't do. I have enough points; there's no need to trouble Honami for now."

After seeing that Ichinose Honami had no objections, the boy looked up at the Class C members and said, "As the saying goes, cash on delivery. There's still some time before the election, so to ensure everyone keeps their promises, please sign this contract before I transfer the money."

"Of course, we would never breach a contract."

Upon hearing the other party's statement, Yamauchi Haruki couldn't wait to be the first to step forward and claim this windfall.

"Alright then, let's have Yamauchi be the first one, and set an example for your classmates."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Kushida Kikyo, who was standing to the side seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and then took out the contract.

"OK."

Yamauchi excitedly ran up to the podium, and after he quickly signed Hashiba Hikaru's contract, the boy readily transferred 30,000 points to him.

"It's really here! Everyone is welcome to trade!"

Yamauchi Haruki looked at his phone account with a delighted expression; now he could enjoy himself for a while longer.
